We'll win this one. All the pressure is on Port because everyone thinks they'll do us easy. Just like last year...

Compared with say Wee Baby Seamus, Impey & CJ: where does he sit for speed?
Mostly because the debut will actually happen

Did Seamus Mitchell hurt his ankle during the second half of last week?

Same speed as Seamus in straight lines, even better lateral movement but not a composed kick.

Kittens globally were quaking when you typed that....Bumping up his trade value?
Similar top speed to all three but Bailey's strength is his acceleration and agility at any point of time - he doesn't need time to react; it's just instinctual.
Highlights below:

Yep he's like CJ with those first few steps. The slow motion in this video captures it perfectly.
Can't wait! I think he's been a bit of a surprise packet at Box Hill this year.
I'll say it.
He's going to be the fastest player on the field tomorrow.
He'll be one of the fastest in the comp with the smarts and agility to utilise it.
Think a blond mulleted Saad.
Maybe just my wishful thinking, or is it?

Quick AF.
My greatest concern is that he hits the magical 88 miles per hour & his flux capacitor sends him back in time to race against Steven May or fight him in a Diner...
He almost didn't have an AFL career for that very reason.Quick AF.

Bloody Steven May... Ends Campbell Brown's career, now he starts on BMac...
I can see it, Burger.
Mouthwatering stuff when you throw in Shammy, Weddle, CJ, Impey as seriously fast players. Then when you add the likes of aerobic players: Amon, Ward, Moore, Nash, and we become a scary proposition for opposition teams.
He's gone too far I tell you.Bloody Steven May... Ends Campbell Brown's career, now he starts on BMac...
Was very noticeable over summer training. He just looks like a game breaker takes it on and can open up the game. I’m am sure that Mitch will tell him to play to his strengths tmrw and if you make a mistake don’t worry try it again hey!

What impresses me about Sam is how systematically he’s gone about fixing the issues we’ve had for years that Clarko either couldnt or wouldn’t address.
It’s why I’m confident he’ll work out forward support for Lewis - it wouldn’t surprise me to see Rama get a run in the back half of the season to see what he’s about.
The future is good.
- contested ball deficiency? Tick
- speed? Tick
- height down back? Tick
- forward pressure? Work in progress

Epic coaching. And I love his selection policy.
Clarko gifted TOB 99 games over 8 years remember.
Also, is CJ in trouble here? Gonna find it hard to get back in now.

Which KPF should we have been playing instead of TO'B?
Clarko's game plan & influence on trades / selection was horrendous. Selecting TO'B was far from the face of the post-2016 era garbage (& you know this!).

Genuinely surprised by how many Port fans in their match day thread are keen to see Chad back with some even preferring him over a performing Jed McEntee.
If Chad's concerns at Port can be handled, I bet we can work out a trade deal given they are in flag window.

D- apparently
I'm saying it was symptomatic of the selection policy at the time.
Spuds like Howe, Ceglar, Shiels (over 30 version), TOB, Phillips, Scully, etc were just gifted games based on poor performance. We had kids we could've brought in, but he was all about minimising the floggings.
